A temperature-controlling device is required to maintain a temperature of 550 ◦ C ± 25 ◦ C or 950 ◦ C ± 25 ◦ C Preparation of the test portion 6.1 Test portions of raw natural rubber shall be cut from the homogenized piece prepared in accordance with ISO 1795 Test portions of raw synthetic rubbers shall be cut from the dried rubber obtained after carrying out the determination of volatile-matter content in accordance with ISO 248 6.2 Test portions of rubber compounds shall be comminuted by hand 6.3 Test portions of vulcanizate shall be sheeted or crumbed on a mill or comminuted by hand 6.4 Care shall be taken to ensure that test portions of rubber compounds and vuIcanizates are representative of the sample Procedure Heat a clean empty crucible (5.1) of appropriate size for about 30 in the muffle furnace (5.4), maintained at 550 ◦ C ± 25 ◦ C, allow to cool to ambient temperature in a desiccator and weigh to the nearest 0,1 mg Take a test portion of about g of raw rubber or g to g of compounded rubber or vulcanizate, according to the mass of ash to be expected, and weigh to the nearest 0,1 mg Place the weighed test portion in the crucible mounted in the hole in the heat-resistant, thermally insulating board (5.2) Heat the crucible gently with the burner (5.3) in a hood for proper ventilation, taking care that the rubber does not ignite If any material is lost due to spurting or frothing, repeat the above procedure with a new test portion When the rubber has decomposed to a charred mass, gradually increase the heat from the burner until the volatile decomposition products have been substantially expelled and a dry carbonaceous residue remains Transfer the crucible and its contents to the muffle furnace, maintained at 550 ◦ C ± 25 ◦ C (see, however, the Note), leaving the door of the furnace slightly open to provide sufficient air to oxidize the carbon Continue heating until the carbon is completely oxidized and a clean ash is obtained Remove the crucible and its contents from the furnace, allow to cool to ambient temperature in the desiccator and weigh to the nearest 0,1 mg Then heat the crucible and its contents again for about 30 in the muffle furnace, maintained at 550 ◦ C ± 25 ◦ C (or 950 ◦ C ± 25 ◦ C — see the Note), allow to cool to ambient temperature in the desiccator and re-weigh to the nearest 0,1 mg This mass shall not differ from the previous mass by more than mg in the case of raw rubbers or by more than % relative to the amount of ash for compounds and vulcanizates If this Copyright International Organization for Standardization Provided by IHS under license with ISO No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS © ISO 2006 – All rights reserved Not for Resale `,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,` - 7.1 Method A ISO 247:2006(E) requirement is not fulfilled, repeat the heating, cooling and weighing procedure until the difference between two successive weighings meets this requirement NOTE For compounds and vulcanizates, a temperature of 950 ◦ C ± 25 ◦ C may be used 7.2 Method B Heat a clean empty crucible (5.1) of appropriate size for about 30 in the muffle furnace (5.4), maintained at 950 ◦ C ± 25 ◦ C, allow to cool to ambient temperature in a desiccator and weigh to the nearest 0,1 mg Take a test portion of about g to g of the compound or vulcanizate and weigh to the nearest 0,1 mg Place the test portion in the crucible and pour about 3,5 cm3 of concentrated sulfuric acid (4.1) over it so that the rubber is completely wetted Place the crucible and its contents in the hole in the heat-resistant, thermally insulating board (5.2) and heat gently with the burner in a hood for proper ventilation If, during the initial reaction, the mixture swells excessively, withdraw the flame to avoid possible loss of material When the reaction becomes more gentle, increase the heat from the burner until the excess sulfuric acid is volatilized and a dry, carbonaceous residue remains Transfer the crucible and its contents to the muffle furnace, maintained at 950 ◦ C ± 25 ◦ C, and heat for about h until all the carbon is completely oxidized and a clean ash is obtained Remove the crucible and its contents from the furnace, allow to cool to ambient temperature in a desiccator and weigh to the nearest 0,1 mg Then heat the crucible and its contents again for about 30 in the muffle furnace, maintained at 950 ◦ C ± 25 ◦ C, allow to cool to ambient temperature in the desiccator and re-weigh to the nearest 0,1 mg If this mass differs from the previous mass by more than % relative to the amount of ash, repeat the heating, cooling and weighing procedure until the difference between two successive weighings is less than % relative to the amount of ash Expression of results The ash content is given, as a percentage by mass, by the formula m2 − m1 × 100 m0 where m0 is the mass, in grams, of the test portion; m1 is the mass, in grams, of the empty crucible; m2 is the mass, in grams, of the crucible and ash Test report The test report shall include the following particulars: a) all details required for full identification of the piece or sample tested; b) a reference to this International Standard; c) the method employed — method A or method B; d) the temperature used, and the reason for its choice if 950 ◦ C was used for method A; e) the ash determined for the product tested, as a percentage by mass;
